This thread has got great potential. I think Black Scorpion already produce a Jimmy Hendrix. ???

Really? That will definitely need investigating. Purple Haze indeed!

I was reminded earlier that somewhere I've got three ZZ Top-alikes decked out as musical Western outlaws. They were converted from Foundry western figures by my good friend Bob many years ago. If I can find them and give their paintwork the touch-up they deserve, Los Tres Hombres will also make an appearance.

The Beard Gang ride again........ ;D

Bert Weedon!!! ;D ;D

Reminded of him watching the vid link of the guy who obviously did not manage the full day of Berts course :o

Quite a few companies like Dixons, Foundry and Ainsty make coffins which would cover a lot of the names already mentioned. ::)

 lol No comment needed......  ;)

Bert Weedon

Surely any figure of him would be better in a steampunk thread?

(Actually I think Bert might predate steampower.)

You may well be right...

Nice figure, and I think Slash is a fine guitarist. I loved GnR's music back in the later 80's - early 90's before they split and got to see them live 3 times here in the UK (they may reform having seen some stuff online - yes Slash and Axl back together). One of the best hard rock bands ever - but so self destructive - which makes them great potential for a gang in figure gaming  :)

I love this model.

As a huge GnR fan myself, one of my earliest conversions were Slash, Duff and Axl noise marines

Thanks chaps!  :D

Yes, love or hate GnR, they were certainly a unique band. I'm still amazed that Steven Adler managed to get himself thrown out for excessive drug abuse. A splendid achievement  lol
 
I'm dubious about Slash and Axl getting back together in the near future and to be honest, with Myles Kennedy currently singing with Slash, I'm not missing Axl at all. Myles is at least as good a singer and has total respect for the fans. I was lucky to have met him and the rest of Alter Bridge at the show in Birmingham last year. A nice bunch of blokes!

Anyway, I'd love to have seen those GnR Noise Marines  :)

Think I'll put Duff on the "to-do" list. A good bassist is always useful.

I'd like to do the full original GnR line-up. Axl's very recognisable, especially with his bandana, kilt, boots and white leather jacket! Could be fun to add specific rules for the effects of extreme drug/alcohol abuse, lack of communication and in-fighting. There'd also need to be a large investment in Copplestone/Hasslefree attractive young ladies for the inevitable ...errr.... "fans" ;)

Not so sure about the U2 fellas. I lean more towards Metal and the Blues, but you never know. Saw them live in Dusseldorf on the Joshua Tree tour and they put on a fantastic show, so maybe they'd look good in their "Stetson" phase.

Mind you, if I did a figure for every great gig I've been to, I'd be having to use battalion-sized movement trays to get all of them around the table  lol

Judas Priest then?

A Viking fig would lend itself to an easy conversion to K K Downing. There are many Biker/punker figs that could be Rob Halpern...

Rob Halford is a must! So OTT with all that black leather, studs etc. The only surprising thing is no-one guessed he was gay for so long  lol
